I'm sharing a quick and easy Valentine card today with the I Heart Art stamps. They are on sale at the moment in our web shop.
I
embossed the splattered heart with WOW! Glintz powder after I've
stamped the scribble heart randomly. The sentiment is a die from
STAMPlorations. I cut it from glittered cardstock.

Good afternoon and happy Sunday. I'm really pleased to be sharing my mixed media take on this months colour/theme challenge. This time around I've gone with the colours.

I started by creating a couple of gelli print backgrounds using this month's icy colours. I removed some of the paint before I made my print by stamping the music stamp. This means that the white card shows underneath and is perfect for backgrounds. The only thing to remember is that any text is reversed.

I trimmed one sheet to use as the background, and used to other to stamp my whales, and die cut the seaweed.

Don't you just love these colours!

To finish off I just added some liquid glass, sequins, glimmer sprays, and of course some stitching.

I'd like to share a new art journal page today with our cute Mama Owl stamp. I worked in my envelope art journal and used Distress Oxides to create that background.

I used the Alphabet Uno stamp set to create the letters. A nice way to use the alphabet stamps is to stamp them onto some precoloured paper, such as gelli prints. You can cut our tiles and use those to create titles on your journal pages, canvases or scrapbook layouts.

Enjoy watching the video:

I hope you are having a crafty start to 2019.
The Curious Cat kept wanting me to play, so I have a tutorial for you
using this gorgeous stamp.

Grab your cuppa,
and join me for a look at how playing with stuff can be soooo much fun.

This is the finished card.

and here is how we get there ...

Step 1:
I've scraped a layer of white gesso over a card base. Then I've used DecoArt paints in a light blue and white to layer up the background. A little finger painting! You could do as little or as much as you like ... just layering one colour on top of the other. It's really quite relaxing.

Step 2:

I got my brayer out and added some darker blue mainly around the edges.

Step 3:
I've stamped the gorgeous Curious Cat onto some tissue paper. Then on the back side I painted some white paint - when you turn the tissue paper over again to the front, you can see how the white shows through.

Step 4:

I then attached the tissue paper carefully to the background with gel medium.
I've also added a little more white paint to the background to tone the dark blue colour down. I needed some slightly lighter areas for some leaves.

Step 5:

This is where I've stamped some leaves into the top corner and the bottom corner covering the cat a little. I've used archival ink for this.

Step 6:
I painted the leaves with white paint. Then I've gone in with a little grey distress crayons for light shading on the leaves. I wanted to keep in tune with the colour challenge this month over on our facebook page.

One of the finishing touches is to add some words.
I've gone with these words from 'Giraffe'.

Hi it's Gerry here from Gerry's Craft Room as a guest designer on the Rubber Dance blog. I have made an art journal page for my mini album with Rubber dance stamps in a winter colour scheme. The stamps are from the Four Seasons set.

I stamped and heat embossed the trees with white embossing powder and then fussy cut them.
Then I added a bit of colour with the distress oxide ink used as a water colour.

The trees are also available separately, the one I used here is the Autumn tree

I have torn the paper to get a nice fuzzy edge and some white to mimic snow

And more snow effect with WOW embossing and Nuvo glitter accents

The background is also coloured with distress oxides.

And here is a video tutorial for you. Have fun watching!

I hope you like this page, it was fun being a guest designer on the Rubber Dance blog, thanks Susanne for inviting me!

Susanne here today and I'd like to share a mixed media tag with a Brusho background today. I used a lot of different stamps to add texture to the tag. My favourites for a grungy and textured look is the Round in Circles set. I also used some wildflowers from Weed Love and the Vintage Postcard.

The Butterflies form our Butterfly Trio are embossed with metallic brass powder by WOW! and also coloured with Brushos. The embossed parts acts as an resist and let the butterflies look very elegant. I recently made a card in the same style. You will find a video here.

Hello. Hope you are having a very happy and crafty Sunday. Gail here today with a quick card featuring the lovely deer from the Rubber Dance Frosty Friends set.

Love this beautifully detailed deer. I kept it simple and used the current challenge colours of blue, blue and grey. I stamped the deer on a piece of white card and masked it. I stamped the Marble stamp with Stormy Sky distress ink and then cut out the panel. I edged with the same distress ink, mounted on a drak blue layer and then on a pearlised grey card. I stamped the Deer Santa sentiment with blue archival and done!!

All the christmas stamps are currently on sale and you can get a whopping 20% off!!

Don't forget to join the January challenge which is now based in the facebook group
